We all love to see some associate nation cricket taking place because there’s so much of untapped talent here in these countries. We now have the 2021 Belgium tour of Malta where the two nations will play 5 T20Is between 8-10 July 2021. Malta obviously has less exposure than their opponents but they have the home advantage and additionally, the ECS Malta was just played here recently at the very same ground in Marsa.
They’re placed 58th in the ICC T20I Rankings while their opponents Belgium are currently placed 43rd. All games will be played at the same ground and you can refer to Malta T10 scorecards to see who has done well and who hasn’t in that tournament, and pick players accordingly. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Code “READ1234“) fantasy preview of the MAL vs BEL 1st T20I…

Numbers
- Two previous T20Is here – Malta lost both.
- Two previous T20Is here – both won batting first.
- Shaheryar Butt – 294 runs in 7 games for Belgium.
Malta
Samuel Aquilina leads the side but this wicket-keeper batsman bats way too low down the order and doesn’t even have great scores in T20Is, so we’re leaving him out of our MAL vs BEL fantasy preview. On the other hand, there’s the 37-year old Gopal Chaturvedi who has made double figures with the bat in all of his 4 T20 international innings for Malta so far, so you don’t want to leave this guy out for the 1st T20I.
Now 41 years old, there’s Heinrich Gericke who is likely to open the batting for Malta and he’s played 2 international innings for the country, hitting 91 in his most recent innings, which means he’s someone you surely want in your MAL vs BEL Dream11 team today. In his last game for Malta, Noshair Akhter ended up getting a 3-fer and he’s someone we expect will be among the wickets once again.
Belgium
Someone who has been batting at an outstanding batting average of 70+ and is one of their highest scorers is Shaheryar Butt and he’s a very safe bet, worth even picking as fantasy captain or vice-captain today, though he is unlikely to feature with the ball. Not many people will be picking Mamoon Latif because he has scores of 9, 4, 3 in his last 3 international outings, but he’s experienced and bowls at times as well.

With 11 wickets in only 7 T20 internationals in his short career so far, Ashiqullah Said has been brilliant with the ball, with a best of 3/15 and a career economy rate of just 5.37 which is fabulous for T20s, so we need him for sure in our PlayerzPot (Code “READ1234“) MAL vs BEL fantasy team. With 6 wickets in 7 games for Belgium and a batting strike rate of 158+, someone who is a good captain or vice-captain pick is Saber Zakhil.
